How Can I Confirm the Pool Equipment's Age & Remaining Service Life after Purchase?

Ask for maintenance records and service invoices for the pump, filter, and any salt or chlorine system. Look for the latest service report from a licensed pool company, and note the model, install date, and any past repairs or leaks. Check tile condition, drainage, safety features, and lighting documentation, plus monthly service costs. If you’ll be overseas, request written maintenance authorizations and a local contact. Arrange a professional pool inspection to verify that equipment matches the records and that there are no hidden issues. Bring documents to handover and have the inspector confirm what needs repair or replacement in the next few years.
